Truth hurts, don't it?
Though if you want to know why I put you in the second tier with Messi, it's that you don't seem to buy much statues or Japanese toys while Messi's collection seems to be more dedicated to a single character with few (well, not that few) purchases outside of it. Better move to a cheaper apartment if you want to get away from Messi :3

Also ordered Slan. Also in Canada.
Shipped via SAL parcel due to other things shipping with it so that could affect things, but mine arrived literally a week after I ordered. Usually takes way longer.

What city are you in? Tracking doesn't even show it's reached Canada yet.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Damn. The longest for me so far was 21 days in California.

I'm in Edmonton. I never even bothered to check tracking. My Super Robot Wars V, on the other hand, took almost two months...
I wish it was only Harley

hey Haloid and all, my Metal Build Seven Sword/G came in:
*sigh*
Was really looking forward to getting her. At least now I'll get her in my birthday month!
That's why I added "not that few" between brackets
They're probably still dwarfed by your Harley collection.
Be honest with me, do you have Harley styled bed sheets 👀
I've been holding off on pre-ordering some items that I know won't sell out quickly because I've yet to predict how overloaded the later months of the year are going to be.
But I'm already very overwhelmed by all the items marked as December... I could go over $600 easily. It's going to be rough.
ANYWAY... whatever I roll with, one thing is for sure... just kicked off my December order with SHF JL Wonder Woman pre-order.

Has it been updated on the Japan Post site? Mines been on "Posting/Collection" since Saturday and I imagine it will be for a while. Just seems pretty tight that they just hold onto it for ages without dispatching, it doesn't make much sense just storing it.
Makes it worse knowing my mate's came through yesterday, he didn't change the delivery method so paid a bit more, but it's there already after being sent on Saturday.

Yeah, December is going to be brutal. Actually, even leading up to December is brutal. So far I have:
Figma Red
Figma Tracer
Nendo Rapunzel
Black Convoy MP (I really shouldn't, but it looks sick)
and just added SHF Wonder Woman to it. And I haven't even pre-ordered Tienshinhan yet, and I have a feeling Revo Magneto might be around then too.
Is anyone looking to get rid of any of Hot Toys Stormtrooper releases? I've been looking to expand my Imperial presence, have the Gunner and Jyn Disguise on pre-order, but I'm interested in some other releases as well.
I have the HT Catwoman and DX12, as well, if anyone is looking to trade for those.

Last entry on mine on the Japan post site is from June 27th
"Dispatch from outward office of exchange" I fear my Slan just sunk in the ocean.
HT seems to be making a lot more than they used to. I still see plenty of recent figures still in stock at BBTS. Which is why I'm scaling back on preordering them unless I really want them. So far all the ones I preordered there are presoldout. I still regret not getting MoS/BvS Supes and Civil War Cap which actually sold out. But I can always get them later from resellers if I really wanted them. Prices tend to go down a little bit when the aftermarket is saturated.

Damn, that's a long time. Wish I'd paid the extra now, a month is crazy.
lol that gif is just the perfect representation of SAL

it also depends on what city it shipped from for SAL.
from amiami i get stuff about 2-3 weeks bc it's going via the Tokyo container.
if i order from Jungle, it's transported into the Osaka International flight and that takes forever.

Yes my amiami SAL packages always take longer than my HLJ SAL packages I always wondered why.

i got SAL stuff from certain branch location of Mandrake in 8 -9 weeks, so slow....
sometimes i just forget about it and 3 months later it shows up.
Never use FedEx with Nippon-Yasan. It seems to always go through US customs and gets ripped open by them for inspections. It made me stop buying from them unless they're the only ones who sell a sold out/hard to find item. Stuff was never destroyed by them but I hate the fact that my stuff was delayed and ripped open by them. It was all LE/CE stuff.

Holy crap, that's nightmare scenario, here in Canada, EMS will ALWAYS be sent to customs for inspection and if the invoice hovers around 150$ ~200$ they will make you pay tax over it.
Have no access to my avatar folders while in america, accidentally deleted my old one. :/
Just make a random one for now.

what the fuck is all this helping Messi shit oh my god.
I can't I only have my phone.
Wait, I always thought you were American
Anyways, want me to make you one?
Nope I am Irish. Imagine what that does to customs tax and shipping of this shit.
No worries I'll be back home tomorrow and can fix this issue. Thanks anyway.

Haloid is already calling his congressman to see if he can get Ireland added to Trump's travel ban.

Los Angeles customs doesn't seem to give a fuck. They've never caused problems for me beyond my package sitting there for a couple days.
I've even ordered shipments of prescription drugs where the seller plainly and honestly labeled what was inside right on the box.
If there was one of each other figure left then they actually bought every figure except the two women. (MCU Thor and MCU Loki are double-packed.)
What a weirdo.

Marvel Legends Thor Ragnarok stuff should be out at Toys R Us today. Found a case minus Ares and Young Thor
Luckily the person who got there before me is a crazy person and left Hela behind

Just got some Mythic Legion Skeletons. I'm in love.
Just so fun swapping out their parts and pieces that I think I'm going to grab some more from this line.

See, I got Scaphoid, and he is loose as shit. He doesn't stay standing up for more than five minutes. It's the ankles and hips.
I bought into their last kickstarter, so they better correct that nonsense by the time that stuff gets made.
Arcadia re-releasing 1/3000 SDF-1 for about 36,000yen
they are also announced they will be releasing a Premium Finish Version that has paint apps and glow in the dark
comparison: premium finish vs standard
Is it wrong that my heart skipped a beat seeing this.
Where would be a good place to pre order?
